my return to life

"I don't necessarily have a happy event, but you, it's hard to say." Fang Nian said with a smile.

Tan Liu said lightly: "How do you say?"

"Come with me." Fang Nian said with a wave of his hand.

Tan Liu didn't doubt that there was him. In the past three or four months, he and Fang Nian had become acquainted, and occasionally they could have a meal together.

I also know that Secretary Fang will mean Mr. Lu most of the time.

Tan Liu has been a middle-level manager of the subsidiary since he joined Frontier. In the past year or so, he has been transferred frequently and has risen rapidly. That is to say, he has been in the position of deputy manager of the comprehensive management department of Frontier since 2012.

This is not a particularly eye-catching special case within the frontier of start-up companies, after all...

Many employees have the experience of being transferred every six months, especially those who joined the company as assistant management positions such as team leaders and deputy managers of small departments.

Namely Assistant G Level.

Speaking of which, the frontier department attaches great importance to the position of P-level ordinary employees. Unlike most companies in China, the management will definitely overwhelm the ranks of ordinary employees.

Even the salaries of D-level directors may not be able to beat P-level senior employees.

For example, Chen Jianye is a P-level, but it is the highest P0 level.

The P grades will be more detailed, normally from P3 to P19, then from P2 to P0, and the highest P0.

The annual salary of the P0 level is basically the ceiling of the frontier, which is roughly equal to the annual salary of the group scientists.

At present, there are only eight people in Class D, and Wu Fucheng, who has the highest annual salary, is only about three million yuan. Without shares, dividends, and additional benefits, he really can't compare with Class P0.

Not to mention the G-level, the ceiling is placed on Su Zifeng, and the current annual salary is 510 million yuan.

Of course, whether it is P or G, there are additional benefits and a small amount of share dividends, but it is very different from D grade.

Because 11.1% of the total dividends of the D-level will exceed the total dividends of all P and G, and as of this morning, the total number of shares distributed by the entire frontier system accounted for less than 45% of the total.

That is, 11.1% of the 45%.

And a large part of this 45% will be recycled and redistributed after a few years.

In short, because these shares are free gifts from the frontier, it is fundamentally difficult to compare with the dire dividends of Juchang.

Fang Nian is not a saint. He can distribute 15% of the company's profits to all employees after paying at least 10% higher salary than his peers and other benefits far exceeding his peers.

Although Fang Nian's move is also to tie all the employees to the chariot and reduce the risk of the external environment, but everyone gets what they need, where can they go to work and not work for the company?

"..."

After following Fang Nian out of the company, Tan Liu recalled: "Are you going to invite me to lunch?"

"Probably." Fang Nian didn't say much.

After a short time, the two of them walked to the 'Sneak Free' restaurant - not too far away, just over a kilometer, and it only takes about ten minutes. It's no big deal for young people to walk around.

Tan Liu, who followed Fang Nian straight up to the second floor of the 'Sneak Free', saw that several familiar big leaders of the company were there.

I'm a little confused.

Seeing Tan Liu stunned, Fang Nian waved his hands: "What's the matter, such a big man is still shy?"

"..."

Tan Liu didn't know, so he had lunch with him.

I don't even know what it tastes like when I eat it.

He had guesses in his heart.

But I dare not think about that possibility.

During more than two years of work experience in Frontier, especially after being transferred to the comprehensive management cadre department this year, she has become more and more familiar with the major affairs of Frontier. Tan Liu understands that Frontier is actually a private enterprise in essence.

Moreover, it is a private enterprise with extremely centralized power at the top.

Equity is also quite concentrated, the board of directors only has 8 people, how centralized is this power?

Of course Tan Liu thought about making progress, but at most he also wanted to go to the board of supervisors for a while.

just now……

"..."

…………

After a simple lunch, the group walked to the nearer Fengda Building.

Soon walked into the front office.

This time Fang Nian didn't need to speak, Wen Ye took the initiative to say hello: "Pick an empty seat that you like, and come with me to pick up office supplies."

Tan Liu: "Oh..."

"..."

A few minutes later, Tan Liu sat down at the seat closest to Wu Fucheng, and she basically regained her senses.

Fang Nian sat on his desk, leaning back lazily: "Today is a good day for the front office!"

"First of all, let us welcome Mr. Tan Liu. I wonder if Mr. Tan Liu would like to join?"

Tan Liu: "..."

Only then did you remember to ask me if I would like to?

Is it a little too hard to give me a way out?

What if thousands of guns are aimed at me as soon as I go out?

After thinking about it, Tan Liu hurriedly stood up and nodded excitedly: "Yes."

"Sit down, don't be so polite." Fang Nian gestured, "Wen Mi, let him sign the contract."

After a while, the busy work was finished, and Fang Nian said again: "Old rule, do the summary report first."

Gu Yu cleared his throat, took over the conversation, and gave a brief work report.

"..."

"After repeated adjustments and supervision, the progress of important projects in various laboratories is on the right track."

"Among them, Shengyu Lab, which has outstanding performance, is expected to launch a 6G baseband chip with a Cat.4 transmission rate early next year;

Wuwu Laboratory will start the development of the first EUV lithography prototype next year;

Taotie Lab has formally mass-produced immersion photoresists..."

"..."

"In addition, Nuwa Lab's ServerOS has launched an internal beta version of the lab, and the next major versions of MindOS and DeskOS have been released from pre-research."

"..."

"As for Baize Labs, after coordination, the new mobile phone SoC project has reached an agreement with TSMC;

The big CPU project has entered a critical period of tackling key problems, and the Bailong project has entered a critical period simultaneously;

The GPU project has completed the first tape-out verification, and the second tape-out is about to start;

Other non-core, non-consumer chips are progressing well. "

"..."

"Bai Ze Semiconductor and Wu Wu Laboratory have completed 45/40 nanometer immersion DUV lithography, and tackled 28 nanometers."

"Zhuyan Lab has perfected zyEWB, which has certain commercial value;

zyMath was officially introduced to a small number of colleges and universities such as Harbin Institute of Technology. "

"..."

Gu Yu gave a brief report on the situation of each laboratory.

The overall situation is not bad.

Shengyu Laboratory has accumulated a lot of experience in the past year, and finally broke through a level first.

The other is that the big CPU project has finally been hammered out, and the dawn can be seen.

Wuwu's EUV lithography machine has some clues.

In Fang Nian's view, according to ASML's development efficiency, counting from the prototype machine off the assembly line in 10 years to the official launch of the mass-produced model in 17, there is still a chance of rescue.

Because Wuwu has more advantages - money, people, test lines, and massive cooperation.

Unlike ASML.

Anyway, in mid-July of the year, the customer investment plan proposed by ASML was suddenly aborted for some reason.

Hmm... It really has nothing to do with Frontier Angel Global and Chin, which had not been canceled at the time, that is, ASML's major customers are not optimistic about EUV.

Including Intel, which has always adhered to Moore's Law.

There are a total of three major customers, Intel, Samsung, and TSMC.

Intel is very hesitant about EUV, but it has funded and supported ASML's R&D investment in 18-inch wafer lithography machines.

Although TSMC took the prototype early, it took more than a year for assembly and debugging alone. There were too many problems. It was just at a time when confidence was seriously lacking and it was just about to introduce FinFET technology, so it did not invest.

Samsung...

Samsung Electronics lost too much confidence by the Baize Shenlong series, and the share of the wafer foundry could not compete with TSMC. After thinking about it, it still did not vote.

It really has nothing to do with frontier half a dime.

At most, Frontier sold 4000 million Shenlong chips to Samsung Electronics, and the next 1000 million were added by Samsung Electronics on its own initiative.

The main reason is that except for Baize, mobile phone SoC manufacturers around the world have not aggressively developed 28nm, while Baize has repeatedly applied different types of 28nm processes, and has always maintained the ultimate pursuit of performance.

You should know that the A5 chip on Apple's iPhone6 was still 32nm a few months ago.

Apple actually wanted to join, but unfortunately, after Jobs passed away, there were too many people who had the final say, and crossing 32 to 28 meant that the previous investment was in vain, which was very unfavorable to the cost.

All in all, Baize is the only one in the world who is crazy about pursuing the extreme processing performance and graphics processing performance of mobile phone SoC, but it seems like there is no end to burning money, and many manufacturers are still waiting to see.

"..."

After reporting the progress of the project, Wen Ye took over the topic and proposed a list.

"This year, there are two people who have the matching ability of group scientists. Academician Chen Jianye of Baize and chief engineer Chen Yan of Pangu. According to the rules, you need to select one person."

Fang Nian blinked: "Can't you give both?"

"Not this year." Wen Ye explained, "Limited by the company's initial nature, in order to maintain the stability of the system, only one group scientist can be selected in the two years of 2012 and 2013."

Fang Nian said, after all, Frontier is a company with an extremely terrifying debt ratio. Although it is still six months away from bankruptcy, in order to maintain stability, it needs to make trade-offs and balance in many aspects.

Otherwise, why would Frontier spend money to recruit many non-engineering PhDs?

Even Wen Ye and Gu Yu are currently studying for a master's degree.

After receiving the document from Wen Ye, Fang Nian flipped through it: "Hey, is Mr. Chen so awesome?"

"Good guy! I'm going to spend 3 million R&D funds in one go..."

With that said, Fang Nian closed the document: "This year's quota should be given to Academician Chen Jianye. His contribution is even greater."

"..."

As for laboratory-level scientists, there is no need for a Fang Nian audit.

After the transactional summarization was completed, Liu Xi opened her mouth to report the financial affairs for the whole year.

"The company's total operating income in 2012 was: 513.429 billion yuan, excluding 207 billion yuan from Frontier Overseas."

"Among them, the operating income of Shengyu Laboratory is: 118.76 billion."

"Among them, the revenue of the Baize Shenlong series has fully covered the initial research and development investment, and it is slightly profitable."

"..."

"The accounting of the company's expenditure items in 2012 is: 673 billion."

"The company's account balance and disposable cash are: 159 billion; excluding the 500 billion investment balance of 420 billion."

Liu Xi's accounts have always been clear at a glance.

The expenditure items for 2012 are actually not too outrageous. The total of 673 billion includes some small expenditures that have been budgeted until early next year.

As in 2011, there are some expenditures that have been budgeted into early 2012.
